The resignation of Arthur Baghdasaryan raised turmoil at the National
Assembly. The deputies were repeatedly mentioning Baghdasaryan’s name
in their speeches and giving different assessments to Orinats Yerkir.
Artashes Geghamyan reminded that those deputies who are left within
the party are of bad fame.
Particularly he addressed Hohvannes MARGARYAN, saying, “you speak
about milk powder.”
Vahan Hovhannisyan, who was chairing the session had to calm deputies
down for several times. Geghamyan was demanding air in order to
clarify who is who.
Baghdasaryan doubted if there will be any TV company which would be
willing to accept them. Vahan Hovhannisyan assured that Yerkir Media
can host them.
Arthur Baghdasaryan said that it was a difficult decision for him
because he has worked with coalition for a long time. “If that is a
game for some people let that game be played on them,” he said.
Speaking about the possibility of vote on his resignation, he said
he refused to put the issue on vote because that could be subject
for manipulations.
Some could say that he does not want to go. “I wanted to go with
dignity,” he said.
He was angry that the opposition does not want to accept OY. “Let’s
pull the rope together. They do not want. Why? What is the
reason?” Baghdasaryan asked.
Tigran Torosyan reminded the deputies that Arthur Baghdasaryan’s
resignation cannot become an issue in the agenda. It will be approved
if Baghdasaryan’s confirms it in 5 days.
P.S. The reporters asked Vahan Hovhannisyan if Yerkir Media will
provide air to the abovementioned politicians and why he is sure that
the TV company will do so. Hovhannisyan said that the head of Yerkir
Media is his friend and he will speak him into that.
